In vain, the old bad habit is seamlessly continued here.
Am I the only one here, who finds this a nuisance?

In mailserver / mailman, it might be possible to deal with adding a footer
so that it is separated by a signature block mark. However, this does not
resolve the way users cite original content.
For example, recently there have been responses from one user that are in
HTML and the response has an identical indentation as the previous mail =>
it requires a lot of effort in finding the real text of the response. I
have no idea if this is the behavior of an HTML interface for mail, but
it's terrible. This makes reading such posts very difficult, because here
the mail client cannot be helpful by collapsing up previous replies.
